Bug Description
When dragging and dropping a file, if the mouse hovers over a folder for a split second, the folder opens.
This behaviour is quite jarring. Whether or not you intended to drop into that folder, you may not have intended to open that folder.
The hover time can't be set. And the behaviour can't be disabled.
It's a very significant usability issue for Ubuntu 13.10.
